Randomly...

1) I love shooting guns at the range (and my aim in spot on), but don’t think I could ever shoot an actual animal or person.

2) I usually drive 10-15 mph over the speed limit and sometimes up to 20, and I’ve visited 5 different courthouses in my city to take care of tickets as a result.

3) I hate beets.

4) Up until I was five, I blamed everything on my brother, and usually got away with it. I think he still resents me for it even though it was eons ago.

5) I used to want to be a country singer.

6) I’ve worked at the same company for 11-1/2 years, but not in the same position.

7) Now I work in sales, even though I have no charisma and I absolutely hate talking on the phone.

8) I have a terrible memory. I can only imagine it’ll get worse as I get older.

9) My favorite color is purple.

10) The first boy I ever kissed was a preacher’s son, but you never would have known. We used to make out in the graveyard across the street from my apartment.

11) I have a list of back up husbands that currently consists of: Jet Li, Gerard Butler, and Karl Urban.

12) My dream is to live in a secluded log cabin on the side of a mountain in Alaska.

13) I love chapstick.

14) My middle school coach once asked me to join the school’s football team. I said no because I was intimidated and didn’t want to be the only girl.

15) My parents have been married for 30 years.

16) At one point, there were 4 people working for my company that had the same first name as me.

17) I used to eat peanut butter and jelly straight out of the jars with a spoon.

18) My favorite candy is Black Currant Fruitips, but I can’t find them anywhere.

19) I’ve never taken an antibiotic or a narcotic pain killer.

20) I got food poisoning once from sushi, but I still eat it and love it.

21) I love random quotes and am subscribed to a “Quote of the Day” e-mailing list. Today’s quote: “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.” -- John Gaule

22) Recently I’ve found myself drinking alcohol more than usual, and I’m not sure why.

23) When I get annoyed, I write a haiku about it and it usually makes me feel better.

24) In high school, I had a Croatian math teacher with this crazy Croatian/New York accent that reminded me of Mike Myers as Linda Richman on SNL. He looked like Rick Ocasek. He doesn’t know it, but I loved having him as a teacher. He was funny and good at what he did and I’ll always remember his class.

25) I was bald until I was two years old. Made for some funny looking baby pictures. Lol.

Damn…that was harder than I thought it would be.

It quite frankly scares the crap out of me that people love shooting guns. I guess with our laws over here they are not so much a part of our daily lives.

Sigh...well, mostly it has to do with the fact that I'm not financially independent and both of them are extremely homophobic and/or religious. I'm not sure what would happen and have been known to exaggerate my fears but I have to count on the possibility of being kicked out/cut off. I'm expecting to get a job soon though so it'll probably happen then. So yeah... I'm not opposed to telling them, I'm just too used to my current privileges to risk loosing them. Not very commendable, I know...

I don't think guns for scaring/hurting/killing people should be sold at all. Guns for defense against wild animals, yes. Guns so you can kill the bloke stealing your own VCR, no! An old VCR is not worth shooting and possibly killing someone over and that goes for most other things as well.

The second amendment to the United States constitution seems a little gun-totin' crazy from over here.


Ugh, that is a sticky situation. Maybe your plan is for the best for now. Do you have any brothers or sisters who knows?

I agree with you. Especially here in Texas people are really gun crazy. Like I said though...I pretty sure I could never shoot an animal or person and I would never own a gun (even though my husband does and I don't agree with it). But for me, there is something exhilirating about just plain shooting a gun, even if it's just for target practice. It's pointless, but fun. ::shrugs::

5. When I was 10 years old I realized that I didn't want to live past 24.
6. I still don't.
7. I love being miserable, being angry, being sarcastic and negative, because I believe that life is nothing without hardship and horror.
8. I've recieved at least 150 college letters over the past year, including some from Brown, Harvard, Amherst College, Providence College, Princeton, and Stanford.

^Well, target practice is fun, I agree there .. I've only shot bolt-action rifles though, never handguns.

Up in the arctic, we're very careful with our rifles. If for some reason we think there might be bear around or we're going to sleep in a tent, we half-load (slide the bolt in but make sure the bullet doesn't go in the chamber) one or two depending on the size of the group. Half-loading is always done under supervision by others in the group, not just so that people don't accidentally walk around with a bullet in the chamber, but also so those without a weapon can trust that the rifle is half-loaded and not loaded.

Statistically, people with guns are much more dangerous than polar bears.
